AI-powered teams at a major U.S. materials company discovered 44% more new materials and filed 39% more patents compared to teams using standard methods, according to a study by MIT economist Aidan Toner-Rodgers.The research, conducted at an unnamed corporate laboratory with over 1,000 scientists, tracked the implementation of a custom machine-learning system combining graph neural networks with reinforcement learning. The AI-designed materials demonstrated higher novelty compared to human designs, based on patent text analysis. The company's secrecy limits independent verification of results, according to University College London chemist Robert Palgrave.
